“Coldplay will be giving away a live CD, LeftRightLeftRightLeft, at every remaining live show in 2009 (apart from festival shows). Starting with the band’s first North American tour date, at West Palm Beach in Florida on May 15th, every fan attending a show will be given a free copy of the nine-track CD, which won’t be available elsewhere. Also on May 15th, LeftRightLeftRightLeft will be made available as a free download right here at Coldplay.com, for all fans (and for the same time period). ”

According to the band, the give-away is meant as a recession-busting mark of gratitude to everyone who’s supported them: “Playing live is what we love. This album is a thank you to our fans – the people who give us a reason to do it and make it happen.”
The album was recorded over the past year in various cities around the world on the Viva La Vida tour. Its tracklisting is as follows:
1. Glass of Water
2. 42
3. Clocks
4. Strawberry Swing
5. The Hardest Part/Postcards From Far Away
6. Viva La Vida
7. Death Will Never Conquer
8. Fix You
9. Death And All His Friends”

Colin Buchanan wrote Here One Moment in 1994 after the Sydney fires, which claimed life and property within about a 10 min drive of his home. After the recent Victorian fires Colin has added a new verse, and released the MP3 Here One Moment free.

Verse 1.I love this house I built this house We raised our children here The walls have shared the tumult In the passing of the years But we lost it all last Saturday In the crackle and the roar Our home consumed Escaping All we had was what we wore

CHORUSOur little street The blackened wrecks Here one moment Gone the next Our little house There’s nothing left Here one moment Gone the next

CHOURUS

Verse 2.We saw the news from Kinglake And felt our blood run cold Marysville and Heathcote Junction’s Ashen heart and soul Precious big and little lives Townships torn apart Tears fell in the cinders From a million broken hearts…

CHORUSOur little street The blackened wrecks Here one moment Gone the next Our little town There’s nothing left Here one moment Gone the next Our little town There’s nothing left Here one moment Gone the next
